Check out this list of apps that make living vegan and vegetarian a little bit easier.

My favorite is VegScan, which scans UPC barcodes on food packages and will let you know if they’re vegan or vegetarian. Their database is still being populated, so if you download it, do your bit and add new foods – especially those that are ambiguous or that have required a little extra research. We introduced this app to my mother-in-law over Christmas and she was thrilled to have some help in grocery shopping while we were in town.

And check out the free VeganYumYum app for recipes from the website that lead to one of my very favorite vegan cookbooks. The recipe for her fantastic mac & cheese is one of those included!
